Sales Underwhelm at Art Auctions

Adding to speculation about how the worldwide economic downturn will affect next month’s big auctions in New York, two sales abroad drew disappointing numbers. On Tuesday an auction of Islamic and Indian art at Christie’s in London sold just 47 percent of its 439 lots, Bloomberg News reported. The auction generated total sales of $18.1 million, according to Bloomberg; a similar auction at Christie’s in April generated $20.5 million from 282 lots. On Wednesday, Bloomberg reported, Sotheby’s in Hong Kong had lower sales than expected at the end of a five-day auction of Asian art. The auction was expected to yield about $257 million, but garnered $141.7 million from a sale of 1,700 items.

Causa Sui: Summer Sessions vol 1



Causa Sui presents "Summer Sessions"

Aloha!

Finally some new Causa Sui material will be released! The new album, entitled "Summer Sessions vol. 1", will be released on vinyl only on Elektrohasch in August and is the first in a series of loose, experimental albums. The album consists of four long, instrumental pieces - one of them a 25 minute excursion - and sees Causa Sui break into new territories, experimenting with kraut-rock electronics and elements of proto-fusion jazz as well as the more familiar fuzz-guitar journeys and stoner riffs.

We really got exhausted after working on new material after Free Ride, not really getting anywhere with the songs, so last summer we decided to turn things around for a while. The result was a new working method which demanded immediate action from all involved parties and didn't set any limits for sound and style. Basically we recorded hours and hours of free jams and loosely structured songs, some of them very different in style and tone than the two first albums. Some of the pieces ended up sounding very unique and genrebending, others just plain boring. Now we have put the first collection together of what we consider some of the most interesting results from the sessions.

derÄsthet reviewed: Gschu - "A Picture You`re Not In"



Wir sind offziell im Post-Post-Prefix Musikzeitalter angelangt. Musik von Musikern, die mal Punk-Rock mochten aber keinen Punk-Rock mehr machen würden. Unaufgeregte Songs "auf-den-Punkt" produziert mit absurd geringem Selbstdarstellungsdrang, das man sich normalerweise nur von in tasmanischen Wäldern lebenden Black-Metal-Komponisten erwartet.
Der erste Longplayer von GSCHU ist komplexes Easy-Listening, das nicht vor hat sich sehr aufzudrängen und damit ganz schön viel abverlangt. Ich geh jetzt Quicksand hören.
